After being slapped with a $20 Million fine for Tweeting he was going to take Tesla private without any backing you would have thought that Musk would stop firing off words on Tweeter at all hours of the day or night.

However, on Friday evening in a thread about criticism and his like ratios on the Twitter platform, the CEO of Tesla Musk claimed that his ill-fated 420 tweet in August was worth the forty million in fines that the regulators levied on him and Tesla in response.

Why? The likes.

This month a Federal Judge approved Elon Musk and Tesla’s settlement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission after it successfully argued that they had made false and misleading statements in regards to going private.  In addition to paying out $40 million in fines, Elon was compelled to step down as the Tesla’s Chairman for at least three years. Tesla was also required to reign in Musk’s communications with investors.

A number of investors that were shorting Tesla’s stock price are now likely to sue Elon Musk for losses incurred due to Musk’s false and misleading statements affecting the Tesla share price.  The cost of this could be considerable

This was mere weeks ago.

Remarkably, Musk later tweeted that he was going to sign “off Twitter for a few days,” which honestly doesn’t seem like such a bad long-term plan either. It might be an idea for Musk to stop taking drugs as well.

Secure your online wallets & be careful with online services

You should be wary of any service designed to store your money online. Many exchanges and online wallets suffered from security breaches in the past and such services generally still do not provide enough insurance and security to be used to store money like a bank. Accordingly, you might want to use other types of Cyber currency wallets.  Otherwise, you should choose such services very carefully. Additionally, using two-factor authentication is recommended. Small amounts for everyday uses A Bitcoin wallet is like a wallet with cash.

He has the pedigree and experience to make people sit up and listen. Gundlach was formerly the head of the $9.3 billion TCW Total Return Bond Fund, where he finished in the top 2% of all funds invested in intermediate-term bonds for the 10 years that ended prior to his departure.
